Portale di Ateneo - En.Unibs.it

The course is for students with basic training in electronic and information technology who want to know the main systems used in factory and process automation in the Industry 4.0 era.. Technologies discussed in this course include: Smart Sensing; Wireless Sensor Networks; Fieldbuses; Real Time Ethernet; and interfaces to the Cloud.
Internet of Things for Industry deals with more arguments:
a) intelligent sensors. Regulations. The networks of sensors and actuators. Application profiles.
b) fieldbus and real-time Ethernet. Ethernet networks for automation and real-time Ethernet networks. The software oriented solutions (e.g., Ethernet / IP, Profinet RT) and hardware oriented solutions (eg EtherCAT, Profinet IRT). The problem of synchronization and the standards IEEE1588 and TSN
c) wireless sensor networks. Architectures and technologies. Wireless sensor networks for measuring (metering) and automation. Solutions subGHz and at 2.4GHz. WirelessHART.
d) Architectures and technologies for Industry 4.0, protocols and methods for interfacing machines to the Cloud (eg MQTT, REST API, websocket applied to industrial controllers)
